    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and distinguished Senators. My name is Elisha Ongoya for the record. It gives me great pleasure to address you representing the Hon. Kawira Mwangaza, the Governor of Meru County. We find it necessary to open our remarks by reflecting on the wisdom that informed the framers of our Constitution in prescribing a two-tier process of removal of a governor from office. This case has taught us that the framers of this process were, indeed, wise. I say this because this House occupies a higher quasi- judicial pedestal in these proceedings for three reasons. The first one is that in this House, the accuser, prosecutor and the judge is not one and the same person unlike the process below where the Motion is moved and supported by the same persons who will prosecuted and make a determination by the vote. That was wise on the part of the framers of our Constitution and the law. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
